BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Trio of Vintage Autograph Books Featuring 1950s and 1960s Entertainment and Sports Signatures A collection of three vintage autograph books containing various signatures from mid-20th-century pop music, entertainment, and sports figures, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s. The books feature diverse cover designs, including one blue textured faux-leather cover with gold-tone foil Hollywood-themed illustrations and two smaller books with green and brown textured finishes. Notable signatures and inscriptions identified within the volumes include Johnny Mathis, Liberace (accompanied by a hand-drawn piano sketch), The Fourmost, Joe Brown, Eddy Arnold, and Frankie Laine. Several entries are accompanied by small pasted-in photographs, newspaper clippings, and original postal labels. The lot includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Chaucer Auctions, a typed reference sheet identifying over forty signatures, and a handwritten list summarizing names collected in Great Yarmouth.
